Interesting site about Chernobyl
 

http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/ki.../chapter1.html

Don't know if this has been posted already, but a Ukranian woman took a trip to some areas affected by Chernobyl and made a webpage about her trip. It is very interesting. I like the song that she posted in the Afterwards section of the site.

Seen this years ago. Been hearing that this maybe in fact a hoax to some extent. :hmm:

Didnt she say she went in there alone ? if so who took the pictures of her?

There's no need for it to be a hoax. Buy this month's National Geographic Magazine. Chernobyl is the cover article. Sad but interesting reading.

I bought that too, intresting pictures as well.

You can get two people on a bike you know.

I wouldn't call it a hoax. Her daddy obviously knows people in the right places.

The article should be a sobering read for most of us, to say the least. :cry:

Yes you can fit two on a bike either giving them a "backie" or its a tandem! if she riding a motor bike and she has a fair bit of bagage howns the pylon passenger gunna sit on?

To what extent? Where did you hear this bollox? :roll:

We debated it on a very old post of mine about chernobyl, but other than that i dont know.

For those who are interested in this subject and would like to visit the area you might be soon happy to run trought the virtual version of the Chernobyl area.

I knew you would pop up here and post this :lol:

I also wanted to say that this site is realy good to get you in the right mood for that upcomming game :D (what is kinda cynical :dead: )

She took the usual tour. I forget how much it cost her, but it still made for a good read. Some of the places, such as the abandoned town, she did not visit -- just borrowed some photos from someone who was authorized to go there. The pictures were interesting, and pretty sad. It's also sad that Soviet Russia was doing experiments on a power production plant, but I guess it takes a significant disaster to make any kind of progress.


When hurricane Katrina went through, we had all kinds of sensationalist stories in the liberal media (CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NYT, LAT, etc.). People cooped up in our big cities get really bored, and I don't doubt that she also suffered from the ailment. Guess she likes motor bikes. I think Jay Leno likes "classic" cars. To each their own.

A mate of mine wrote this article on Chrnobyl for H2G2: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A2922103, it may be of interest to some

Interesting read :hmm:
